The Phantom

Factual error: When Xander's thugs are taking the Phantom up to the roof to do away with him, he breaks away and ducks into the machinery room for the elevator. In the scene the door of the room is lockable from the inside only. This door should be lockable from only the outside.

Factual error: When the policemen are shooting at the Phantom in the park, bullets make little explosions when they hit the trees, as if it was metal.

Factual error: When the car pulls away from the front of the "New York World History Museum", you can see palm trees reflected on the car, revealing that "New York" was actually filmed in California.

Factual error: Throughout the movie, any cigarettes smoked are filtered. The movie is set in the 30s-40s. The first filtered cigarettes were from a company called Lorilland for their "Kent" brand in 1952.

Audio problem: When policemen are pursuing the Phantom in the park, their motorcycle tyres makes sounds and sparkles on the ground as if it was asphalt, but it's dirt.

More quotes from The Phantom

Trivia: The film was originally written as a bit of a comedic spoof of superhero and adventure stories by "Gremlins" director Joe Dante and famed screenwriter Jeffrey Boam. Dante was planning on directing it. However, the movie was paused due to budget concerns, and Dante left the project. When it was put back into production, the script was re-written by several ghost writers, and director Simon Wincer decided to play the comedy 100% straight, which original director Dante felt was a huge mistake.
